ISN International Expert Forum: Exploring the Nexus of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Health

Listen to this summary

The authors convened an International Expert Forum to explore the interconnectedness of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity within the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) framework. They aimed to identify effective strategies for risk assessment, lifestyle interventions, and therapeutic approaches to improve outcomes in CKM health, while addressing challenges such as therapeutic inertia and inequities in care access. The discussions emphasized the need for integrated care models and adaptive implementation strategies to enhance the management of CKM conditions globally.
